City of Portland Budget Mapping Presentation to the East Portland - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

City of Portland Budget Mapping Presentation to the East Portland Action Plan April 2015

Why did East Portland have:  10 of the 11 most dangerous intersections in the city  14 out of the city’s 15 lowest livability neighborhoods  3 of 18 Parks and Rec summer food programs

Why Budget Mapping?  Knowledge is power  Transparency  Accountability  Demonstrates inequity between East Portland and the rest of the city  Millions in new investment over the last five years
